The 9-DOF cable driven manipulator as the teleoperator assistant

The simple and relatively low cost teleoperation system with cable-driven robotic manipulator is presented. The system is dedicated to employ it in different laboratories with hazardous materials as a teleoperator assistant. The 9-DOF remote control manipulator has been constructed to freely maneuver within the laboratory spaces among various obstacles. The common 6-DOF inverted Stewart platform is used as the cable manipulator. The construction has been developed by applied mobile pulley mechanisms to obtain extra three redundant DOF.
